Muccini Catches Big Double-Up
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Davide Muccini and Eusebiu Jalba had created an 86,000 pot when the turn was dealt on 5♦J♠3♠8♥. Muccini then checked from the small blind before Jalba made a bet of 37,000 from the big blind. Muccini came out with a raise to 95,000 and Jalba called after a little thinking time.
The J♥ river then paired the board and saw Muccini revert to a check. Jalba then pushed all in, covering the 145,000 chips Muccini still had in his possession.
A snap call followed and Jalba tabled K♥K♦ for an overpair. However, it was greatly outclassed by the full house of Muccini, who played J♣8♣. Jalba slammed the table, but it could not prevent the massive pot being shipped Muccini's way.
